Bill Graves Photos, Rick Inglis Collection

Bill made these photos primarily along the Colorado & Southern, Great Western and Union Pacific railroads in 1956 and 1957, although specific dates were generally not recorded. When available, the caption is word-for-word what Bill wrote on the slide mount.

Scans and color restoration/interpretation by Bob Sobol using a Nikon Coolscan 9000 and Adobe Photoshop CS2. Color restoration is not an exact science.

The slide scan generally encompasses nearly the entire exposed area of film, which in most cases is larger than the area visible when the slide was projected. This is intentional and may assist in a forensic study to determine where and when a particular image was exposed.

Note that due to a dramatic increase in Smugmug's photo hosting price, these photos may remain available for a limited time, after which the gallery will be closed.
